Well if you were then you wouldnt be very happy with some of the pics posted on here...so i expect you arent because show me one muslim who thinks this is remotely funny or acceptable.
Anyhow carry on with your childish antics for all i care lol...and people wonder why muslims have issues with things like this....i guess having some respect for others beliefs is a bit too much for you lot to understand.
And before some of you get on your stupid high horses and start bleating on about free speech...well you can have free speech without having to resort to mocking another religions beliefs etc....its called tolerance and yes i know that there are some muslims out there that dont tolerate but why stoop yourself to their level....just shows how utterly childish some people can be.
Right thats me out
This may sound wishy washy, and I have no doubt will be read by many as such. However, I really don't see what this thread and indeed this "movement" is trying to achieve.
I absolutely disagree with those who say drawing Muhammad is abhorrent, it's just a drawing, most likely an entirely inaccurate one, of somebody that (in my opinion) probably never even existed in the form they are recorded as today.
However, ultimately if we all don't get along at least to the point reasonable people in average societies manage to get along with each other (I'm not talking some stupid hippy group hug thing, I'm talking basic civility), then all of us lose out. Clearly at this moment we aren't even close to "getting along" but surely the self proclaimed more advanced side of the argument needs to be the ones who turn the other cheek in order to get the ball rolling? As an adult do you severely beat a misbehaving child or do you try and teach them better behaviour through example? I know some will flippantly say the former, but in reality we all know the latter is the better answer.
I am quite happy to publicly state that I believe cultures and nations fundamentally built around religious belief are more flawed than societies such as our own, and you can (as has been done) cite examples from our own now distant past to support why general society and law making and religion all need to remain separate in order to support a healthy and forward society.
However, this is simply waving a red flag at the bull, all that is going to happen is that it will try and gore us. It might not succeed, but why ask it to even try in the first place? Are we not now bigger than that?
I believe I have the right to draw whatever I want, it's only some lead or ink on paper in a specific pattern and I will do so at my leisure, what I won't then do is show it to somebody who I absolutely know will find it offensive, even if I simply can't even fathom why they do.
To openly and publicly encourage this form of incitement seems not only to be without any tangible purpose other than to stick two fingers up to people who are already irrationally angry, but also that, for all our claims of being the more advanced society, we can still be quite childish in our reaction when provoked.

Childish? Oh please. I think it's more a problem of a very, very small group of individuals eroding freedom of speech by threatening death over what is just a picture. I appreciate Muslims hold their prophet in high regard but you need to understand I'm not a Muslim. Do you understand? If you get so upset over the fact a non-Muslim draws your prophet then I think that's more a problem of your own hypersensitivity that needs addressing than my choice to draw a picture. In the same episode of South Park that Mohammed was censored, you had Buddha doing lines of coke. Any outcry? No.
I know most Muslims are good people but you guys really do attract some ****s.
Get to bed kiddo, you've got school tomorrow.

and you are ****ing idiot
I definitely agree with what you're saying. However just to provide a basis for discussion...
1) Has (lets take for example) the British government taken into its own hands the responsibility for sending a message to the Islamic people (who think the actions of attacking Danish embassies was acceptable) that this sort of thing will not be tolerated. Personally I saw their prosecution of offenders more of a slap on the wrist.
2) I don't think anyone's using the term movement - but it seems to have had some repercussions with that Pakistani court (in Lahore) banning facebook.
3) I don't think the point of this is to be serious/superior/the more advanced/intellegent/understanding. It's fundamentally a joke based around Molly Norris' frustration.
Please learn to string a sentence together before you call someone an idiot, you only look more stupid
"i hope she and everyone who draw a picture dies with a cancer" - honestly?
**** you.
